What initially seemed to be a connection issue turned out to be a server issue on the developer’s end.įortunately, EA quickly acknowledged the matter and said it is working on fixing the bug but there is no ETA on when the game will be playable again. Heck, they are even unable to download The Sims FreePlay update even when connected to Wi-Fi. And it just… won’t… even… attempt to start… My data is usually stronger than my wifi, and the download fails. Basically my game doesn’t register that the update has been downloaded (and the game icon hasn’t changed), and I can’t open it anymore now. It then asks if I want to retry or quit, and I get another error message when I click on retry.

So I’ve downloaded the update tonight and things were just fine (I’ve started playing the Sim Chase and Influence Island), but the next time I opened my game, I get a screen saying I need to update to continue, then I get an error message when I click on Proceed. Those affected are greeted with ‘An error occurred while downloading assets’ error whenever they try to download the update. Having said that, an issue has emerged where, according to user reports, many players of The Sims FreePlay are unable to download updates. Since EA frequently dishes out content for the game, it is natural for players to encounter some bugs and issues within the game. Eight years after its initial release on iOS, the game added the much-requested autosave function. Unlike the PC version, The Sims FreePlay requires players to guide the characters they created and perform actions on their behalf. Moreover, players can also visit other people’s towns and form relationships with their characters. The game lets players create up to 34 characters and customize everything from clothes to their homes. Unlike its desktop counterpart, The Sims FreePlay is a free-to-play game that was released on iOS in 2011 and came to Android in February of 2012. The Sims FreePlay is a life simulation game developed by Electronic Arts Mobile. Original story (published on September 07, 2021) follows: New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…
